Manufacturing Day is a national celebration just a few weeks away. It is celebrated on the first Friday in October, which is October 6 this year. We know how important the day is.

Stephanie Louise Kwolek’s research in 1971 resulted in an important discovery, in the form of a liquid crystalline polymer solution. The unusual strength and stiffness of this solution led to the invention of Kevlar®, a synthetic material five times stronger than steel and resistant to wear, corrosion, and flame. That’s why Kevlar is the main component of modern bulletproof vests, which have become invaluable to legions of servicepeople. Not restricted to just this use, Kevlar is used in several other products like skis, safety helmets, hiking and camping gear, and suspension bridge cables.
